GDT: Game 32. Meet me in St Louis 5pm

[hohosaregood]

I feel like Granlund has felt kind of off this roadtrip. Seems like a step below the level he was playing at in the beginning of the season.

his spacing has been off since the concussion

 

[TheBeard]

It's probably more to do with facing tougher competition, but by goodness, Walman has crashed back down to Earth!

He’s the Pavel Bure of Darnell Nurses.

 

[Levie]

Shut the f*** up about Eklund, Drew, seriously.

Didn't he get fired the first time for being overly critical of the team? People don't change.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Kovalenko with 2 forced turnovers so far - great forechecking

Walman with at least 2 defensive turnovers (on the same shift) so far - bad, very, very, bad.....

 

[fasterthanlight]

def drew(age: int, mistake: bool):
del mistake
if (age > 25):
return "Hard working vet"
else:
return "Can't get too fancy"

 

[TheBeard]

Holy f***, Ceci was brutal there. Watching Walman running for his life and couldn't be bothered to get open for a pass?

My whole issue with that 5 minute stretch was absolutely no one providing support. For anyone. That’s just fundamental.

 

[Juxtaposer]

The Sharks are allergic to having color guys who don't hate the guts of every moderately skilled player we have. I don't know what's worse, Drew whining about Eklund or Hedican whining about Karlsson.

def drew(age: int, mistake: bool):
if (age > 25) and mistake:
return "Hard working vet"
else:
return "Can't get too fancy"

Too f***ing true lol

 

[hohosaregood]

these guys should shoot pucks

 

[Juxtaposer]

def drew(age: int, mistake: bool):
if (age > 25) and mistake:
return "Hard working vet"
else:
return "Can't get too fancy"

Gotta stick an 'else if name = "Jake Walman"' line in there somewhere

 

[NWSharkie]

Why is Klim Kostin getting PP minutes?

 

[Star Platinum]

Serious question - do the Sharks have a strategy on the power play?

 

[OverTheLine]

Our PP has been terrible... At a certain point you have to put Eklund on the PP1. What is that, 1/14 on the roadtrip?

 

[TheBeard]

You could feel celebrini just begging Toff to shoot.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Thats been happening for the past 5+ games, players not supporting each other. Yes fundamental and should be reinforced by the coaches

 

[Tw1ster]

Thought Neighbors interfered with Kunin there

 

[Juxtaposer]

Yeah, Granlund is not well. Wonder if he would be held out if Smith were healthy.

 

[TheBeard]

I guess his new nickname is OneInFourgiev.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Yeah, Granlund is not well. Wonder if he would be held out if Smith were healthy.

If he's playing hurt, it's not a great decision. Even with Smith out, you can sit Granlund and play Grundstrom and move what you have around to make it work for a game.

 

[Hodge]

If Musty could turn into a Jake Neighbours type we’d be cooking but I’ve lost faith in that happening

You can't lose faith if you never had it to begin with.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Gotta stick an 'else if name = "Jake Walman"' line in there somewhere

nice unit test, I updated the function to account for the desired behavior of "Jake Walman doing 100 moves in the defensive zone is a wiley veteran play that just didn't work out this time, but wow, did you see that one more move?" and also "Eklund being demoted to the 4th line is justified and great"

 

[Hodge]

You can't lose faith if you never had it to begin with.

I was excited when we drafted him

 

[TheBeard]

I was excited when we drafted him

He’s 19, my dude.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I was excited when we drafted him

And it only took how long before you gave up on him?
